I’d like to give an update.

It’s been a hell of a year. (Understatement)

I’m typing this sitting out back looking over the pool tonight. One of my roommates just bought a Porsche 911 a couple weeks ago. I got back from a Key West trip a couple days ago. My other roommate is a crypto millionaire and paid for the Airbnb for 10 people. That was nice of him.

Every week we have events here. This place is legendary. My life is so different than it was a year ago.

A few weeks ago I had my birthday party here. I hired a midget and had 100 people over. My girlfriend catered like something out of a movie. I got 30 something cards with heartfelt handwritten messages telling me I had changed their life for starting this group here in Tampa.

This year on here I said I was going to start a group and people told me it was a bad idea.

I said I was going to move into a mansion with my friends and people said it was a bad idea.

Everything I do there’s always people saying it’s a bad idea.

Can you believe that?

The point is not to rub things in peoples’ faces.

I already got that out of my system when I started my business and people told me it was a bad idea. Now I work less than 4 hours a week and have been for many years.

This message is for YOU.

You see…I already know not to listen to people.

But you….you probably don’t know that yet.

Maybe you “know” it but you haven’t fully internalized it yet.

I want you to learn to be numb to the people who talk and tell you not to do things.

You see, if you’ve been given a vision of something to create….

It wasn’t given to others. It was given to YOU. That means other people won’t see it. Don’t expect them to.

It’s YOUR vision. YOU go create it!

This is your one life. You MUST take a chance on things. There is nothing to lose after all. Abandon your fear and take a chance.
